The procedure for searching for the name of a person registered in the Clinical Trials Reporting Program is the same throughout the application, whether you are searching for principal investigators, responsible parties, or other roles. To link a person to a role, you select the person's record from a list of search results.

The procedure below uses the principal investigator role as an example. The same search criteria may not appear in all search windows however.

Using wildcard characters ( % )

You can enter a series of characters in any of the search fields to narrow the search results, but do not use wildcards.

How to Look Up Registered Persons

  1. Next to any field for a person, such as Principal Investigator, click Look Up Person.
    The Select Principal Investigator page appears.
    Select Principal Investigator page

  2. Provide as much information as you can about the person you are searching for, or, enter the Person/Organization (PO) ID or Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Identifier. You must enter search criteria in at least one field.

    Searching by PO ID

    The PO ID you enter for your search criterion must be exact and complete. That is, do not use partial IDs or wildcards.

  3. Click Search.

    The Select Principal Investigator window displays the results of your search.

    Tip

    If your principal investigator is not listed, you may have searched too narrowly (that is, you may have provided too much information about the person). If the list of results is very long and contains many names that are similar to the one you are searching for, you can narrow your search by providing more information. Refer to the Step below for instructions.

  4. If your investigator was not listed, modify your search as follows:
    • To broaden your search so that more names are listed in the search results, delete one or more of your criteria. For example, if you searched by both first and last names in your original search, you may want to search by last name alone.
      - or -

    • To narrow your search so that fewer names are listed in the search results, provide more information about your investigator. For example, if you searched by last name only in your original search, you may want to search by first name as well.

  5. If you still don't find your investigator in the system, you can ask the CTRO to create the person record. To do so, follow the instructions in Requesting Creation of a Person Record.
  6. To associate a person with the role, scroll through the results list until you locate the principal investigator's record, and then click Select.
    The investigator's name you selected appears in the Principal Investigator field.
